Anandamurti then explains that the three factors in the movement towards the Supreme are: ''Prańipáta'' (self surrender), ''pariprashna'' (questions pertaining to the spiritual goal and not as a mere intellectual debate), and ''sevá'' (offering service to all beings without taking anything in return). Anandamurti goes on saying that spiritual aspirants will come in contact with God through these three aforementioned elements.<ref name="AV33"/> | ||
